That number, IMO, would seem incredibly low...so much as to be unbelievable. But, I will accept your believing so.
Yet...I'll assume you did not mean 200% of the crowd were pro-Trump.

I am adamantly opposed to r**ting, burning, l**ting and k*****g as well, whether by A****A/B*M or the thugs who stormed our National Capital Building in D.C. on this past J****** 6th.

Oh, how silly. Here is an article of Trump's use of "racially charged" dog whistle phrases. Pure stupidity. Although I had been hearing them from Obama for years as in hi s comment, "We straight." straight out of the ghetto.

The problem with this narrative is not everyone's mind is as twisted as our elected congress critters and other government officials.

ChJoe had posted..."I see your point but that being said, I am still not understanding what these 'code words and phrases' are".

I recall several politicians/aides were mentioned as using racially-charged 'dog-whistles, words or phrases'. In response to your confusion, I quickly brought up two links and thought they might be helpful. At the very least, examples were given and the aforementioned terms were explained.

On congress and governmental officials....

"There are a number of things wrong with Washington, D.C. One of them is that everyone is too far from home."

"The country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer."

"Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for."

"The more you read and observe about this politics thing is you got to admit that each party is worse than the other. The one that's out always looks the best."

"It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctively native criminal class, except for Congress."

"Zealots would have everybody be as blind as themselves. To them, to be clear-sighted is libertinism."

"I don't care for people who go to the gutter on either the right or left and hurls rocks at those in the center."

I appreciate that whether or not you accept what I say, you understand it. People with big egos such as myself h**e an audience who doesn't have the age and knowledge to grasp what is said. Where I work we have older guys such as myself, and then there are the much younger ones. I did not realize, although I should have, that the young do not automatically know things that we oldsters do.

Duct tape to fix a computer chair was discussed. I remembered a comedy skit from way back where the Americans made fun of the Russians over the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. The joke was that the Americans said their nuclear accident , aka Three Mile Island, did not reach the mega disaster that the Soviet Chernobyl accident did because the Americans had duct tape. Duct tape can fix anything. I thought it was funny.

The under 30 age woman who was part of the conversation had heard of Chernobyl, but not Three Mile Island. It totally ruined the comedy moment, although the old guys got it.
